The Mediaeval Baebes

```html

The enchanting tale of The Mediaeval Baebes started in 1996, when a group of friends sang together, dressed in flowing white gowns and crowns of ivy.

Drawing lyrics from medieval texts and setting them to original scores using medieval and classical instruments, while singing in an impressive array of long-forgotten languages, The Mediaeval Baebes offer a unique musical beauty and exceptional talent.

Their selection of medieval texts is dramatic, obscure, and dark, touching on themes like the inevitability of death, the futility of material possessions, the agony of unrequited love, or the perils of drinking too much alcohol. Some themes are timeless!

Eighteen years and eight studio albums later, these fair maidens have placed three albums at the top of the classical charts, starred in Ken Russell’s last film “Fall Of The Louse Of Usher,” and their contribution to the BBC production of The Virgin Queen earned them a deserved Ivor Novello Award for best television soundtrack.

The Mediaeval Baebes have performed before enthusiastic audiences in the UK, United States, Canada, Asia, and Europe in venues ranging from castles and caves to cathedrals and renaissance fairs. They have toured with Jools Holland and played at The Royal Albert Hall, Carnglaze Caverns in Cornwall, Jersey Opera House, Tewkesbury Abbey, supported Michael Flatley in Hyde Park, and performed at the legendary Lilith Fair in America.
